88 a me day

 Today I went out and took some time for myself. To take photos, to just not think about the kids or the husband, the messy house, or the bills. Just go out and take photos. It was nice.

some odd clouds this evening

Loving the shaped light bokah thing.

Taken for the assignment "fun with shapes"

"looking up" the monthly assignment

"looking up" the one that makes the cut. I love how the sky seems divided by the cross.

87 Fun with shapes

 The assignment this week in my photo group is "fun with shapes" my shape is a cross and I tried again, more successfully I might add, do do the shaped light bokah. YAY!

86 feeling bulletproof

I have not used cream in my coffee all week. I've done the "bullet proof" coffee. Well my version anyway I just read the actual recipe that calls for TWO TABLESPOONS Of butter, and one of coconut oil. I've been just using the oil, in place of creamer, its a fair trade... more natural and pretty yummy!

85 not quite what I was going for....

 Im trying for shaped bokah (out of focus lights) This looked cool to me, but was not what I envisioned. Stay tuned for my second try!

84 spring storms

April showers bring May.... Oh wait its still March. Well whatever, its springy out. Tornado sirens, Hail, spring like one day, freezing the next.

83 spring things

I love when all the trees bloom. Purple, white, and yellow. Its like a springy version of fall. And just like fall it goes by fast!

82 baseball

 There's no crying in baseball!!!

81 spring fair

Here in Arkansas they put up a fair in the mall parking lot. Several times a year. You know its spring when the fair starts setting up! I'd been wanting to do a long exposure shot of the fair for quite some time. Today I finally did it.

80 city girl bon fire

For Christmas my in laws gave me a fire pit. I could not WAIT to use it. Today it was warm enough that we did. It was awesome. Like being in the country... besides the cars driving by... oh and the too drunk neighbor who came outside to loudly vomit. Romantic.

79 yes another selfie

I am a busy mom who also works. So sometimes I just have a moment for a cell phone selfie and no other photos. Plus I was having a good hair day and needed to show it off!

78 light bulb moment

 I had wanted to do something way creative, like put a scene inside the bulb... then the day got away and a bulb is all there was.

77 that's me... Always behind!

I might be behind on my posting of the blogs, but I am still snapping photos! No worries

76 no pinching!

 I did forget to wear green today. I however did not forget to PHOTOGRAPH something green. :)

70/71/72/73/74

71 5th floor hospital room view

72 spring has SPRUNG friday the 13th can't say it was bad!

73 I love pretty weeds!

74 This really should have gotten its own blog.

 Im pretty damned excited about this one. I've wanted a droplet photo FOREVER and I finally took the time to do it and get it just how I wanted. Now I want to clean my sensor even more than before, becuase the dust I had to clean up here is CRAZY!

75 an apple a day... Miss Hannah is sick anyway.

65/66/67/68/69 of 365 Been Clicking, just not blogging!

 So whoops. Sometimes life gets in the way. I've still managed to take a photo a day, although I must admit I am not AS into it as I was before. I want to be, and I do NOT want to give up yet. I am just stretching myself a little thin. Perhaps I will blog a weeks in one blog or just whenever but I will continue to click and to blog.

68 Selective color without editing

64/365 A little excitement for the day

 Girl child was bored and wanted to know if I was going anywhere. Of course walmart was on the agenda so she said she wanted to go with... Little did I know she just wanted Taco Bell and to drive, NOT to spend time with me. While I ran into Wally world and she sat in the van munching her burrito she swapped seats.

 So she drove us home, about a block from the house blue lights flash... What the heck? She's like I was NOT SPEEDING I USED MY TURNING SIGNAL WHY IS HE PULLING ME OVER... Anyway I guess I forgot to renew my tags in February (OOPS) so he let us off with a "have a nice day" WHEW! Anyway I captured my baby girls first run in with the law lol.

63 dedication

 Okay yes I am only on week 2 of this whole being motivated thing. But I am MOTIVATED so I want to share it! No one else is going to toot my horn for me! :)

 Today it was snowy, we did over 2,000 dollars in sales (we normally do just under 1,000) and we already have a 1,000.00 order for tomorrow morning. Part of me felt as though today was my workout... but the other part of me (The motivated part) Didn't even think TWICE about going to the gym. I just packed up and went!!! GO ME! Drove the snowy roads and worked out... almost an hour long too!

 Oh yeah this is a photo blog. Heres todays photo. Taken with my new cell. Samsung Galaxy s5. Yeah.

62 faces of me?

 A while back on Flickr. someone did a photo similar to this... Only much better quality and much cooler looking. Today I was out of ideas so I chose to be a copy cat. Its my profile cut out of a frontal selfie. Kinda cool. I will try this again sometime.

61 wise ol' owl

and this is a fork, just because.

This is a close up "Macro Monday" of my owl clock. It was my Great Grandmas and one day when I was going through some things with my grandpa I found it in a box... He told me I could have it. I remembered having seen it at grandmas and I treasure it, as it reminds me of her.

60/365 Sibling love

Its true what they say. A picture says a thousand words. A photo can keep a memory for a long time. Today when I was out to photograph the snow. I saw this lost and found sign. I was reminded of a few years ago. My kids nailed a bunk bed ladder to the tree out back and they would climb it, and hang out up there. My son had made this "lost and found" sign and would hang lost socks scarves whatever on it. I went out one day and asked him where the nails went.... As it turns out his little sister was climbing down once and scratched herself badly on a protruding nail... he swiftly hammered all the nails that he couldn't pull out... all the way in. He did it to protect his baby sister. The sister he fought with 24/7 the sister he said he hated... He loved her, and it was obvious from the removed and pounded in nails in this little "lost and found" sign.

taken for my flickr group "get up close"

silly bosco jumps as he barks so his head popped out of the image, but I loved his "Smile"

Jelly bean is camera shy... I finally caught her looking!
